Bible Eager Explorers - BEEs
BEEs is for all children aged 2 to 11 (end of Year 6), every Sunday morning during term time.
All children begin the service with their parents, in church, and then go to the Parish Centre, just next door, after the second song, returning at the end of the service. The whole church has the same Bible reading and BEEs have a lot of fun learning about the bible in new and exciting ways. For younger ones it involves games and crafts while for the older ones more age appropriate activity sheets and discussions mean they learn in a bit more depth.
Every Person in Christ - EPIC
EPIC is our youth Bible study group for 11-18 year olds (Year 7 and above).
At EPIC we take time to pray and learn more about the Bible and God. Every Sunday we are part of the main service and then, except the first Sunday of the month, we go to our Youth Minister’s home, with youth volunteer leader, where we look in depth at God’s word, and study the Bible passage looked at in the main 10:30am service and through discussion and activities, learn about the context, the main ideas and how they fit into today's modern world. We spend time thinking through being a Christian in our modern world and what that means for us and pray together. We also get to share snacks too!
Under 5s Group
Every Thursday during term time, from 9:30am - 11:00am we have our Under 5s Group in the Parish Centre for pre-school children (ages 0-5) and their parents, grandparents or carers.
Do you need a time to relax and have a cup of tea whilst the children play? Come and join us at St Michael's Under 5s. There are toys suitable for children aged 0-5 and a simple craft activity to join in with. We finish with a Bible story and songs together.
Contact Sharon for further details.
If you would like some ideas to use with the children in your care check here.
All Age Service 10.30am, 1st Sunday of the month
The first Sunday of every month is All-Age Family Worship with children being included and participating in the whole service. They are slightly more relaxed services with child-friendly liturgy and an all-age talk encouraging families to worship together.
Holiday Activities
There are regular school holiday activities for all the family, please look out for detail on the website (here) and on our Facebook page.
